Brimbank Ratepayers miss out on rubbish and recycling
Saturday, 19 November 2005

Brimbank Ratepayers the only ratepayers in all of Melbourne to miss out on rubbish and recycling services last week.

The Sunshine Residents and Ratepayers Association (SunRRA) has surveyed 26 Melbourne metropolitan councils and found that Brimbank Council was the only municipality that missed out on waste services last Tuesday (15/11/05).

Residents who missed out on a collection this day will not receive a replacement collection. Residents have been asked to place any build up of excess waste (including green waste and recyclable waste) into plastic bags and leave them on the side of the road for the next pick up.


The reason Brimbank Council gave for this additional reduction to services was to enable Council workers to attend the IR Protest organized on that day. SunRRA believes every worker should have the right to attend this protest and many of our members attended on the day. But SunRRA does not believe that the community should have to miss out on essential services because of this.


“Why was every other council able to organize normal waste services but our council couldn’t?” asked Darlene Reilly SunRRA treasurer. A Banyule council representative said “our service might have been a bit late but no one missed out on the day”.

Council’s Ongoing Waste Debacle
Thursday, 17 November 2005
Waste services were cancelled on 15 November 2005 due to the industrial action that was taking place (in protest of the proposed changes to Industrial Relations legislation). The cancellation of services on this day is perfectly understandable. However, Council’s solution for those residents who missed this service is not understandable.

The train strain: network fit to bust.
Thursday, 13 October 2005
The Sunday Age (9 October 2005) ran an interesting article on the state of public transport in Melbourne.

The article was based on a Department of Infrastructure report obtained by the Sunday Age as a result of a Freedom of Information request.

The report indicates that many of Melbourne's train services are at bursting point.

The really sad part of the report is that 4 of the 5 worst services (the most over-crowded during peak hour) are in the West.

Borderlands Community Consultation Report on the Brimbank Gaming Policy Review – Killed.
Tuesday, 11 October 2005
It is very concerning to community groups and community support organisations that the consultants engaged to revise the Brimbank Gaming Policy have been sacked.

Borderlands presented Brimbank Council with a 145 page report based on extensive focus groups and consultation with community stakeholders and residents. Additional gambling research was referenced combined with Borderlands experience in preparing 8 similar policies for 8 other councils. Brimbank council officers informed Borderlands that the draft report would not be presented to councillors or the public and that the final stage of consultation and faze 4 of the contract would be cancelled. Borderlands involvement and contract was terminated.
